10.4 Social Performance Indicators from the Microfinance Sector The ‘Social Performance Working Group’ has developed a core or common set of ‘social performance indicators’ for evaluating microfinance institutions (MFIs). A related initiative is the Social Impact Measurement (SIM) Tool developed by the International Network of Alternative Financial Institutions (INAFI), composed of Oxfam, Novib and Ordina, as a cost-effective approach to evaluation. The focus is on easy to measure indicators of performance, including beneficiary perceptions of change. Commonly used indicators by the micro-finance sector are: Indicators of changes in assets: • value of equipment/building for non-farm enterprises • animal ownership; • land ownership; • ownership of transport assets • ownership of consumer appliances Indicators of changes in living conditions and reduced vulnerability: • housing conditions • type and level of cooking fuel • access to drinking water • regularity or frequency of meals • quality of food • an expenditure based index showing whether people have reduced or increased their expenditure on livestock, production materials, housing, and other assets • savings (increase or decrease) Schooling indicators: • % of children reaching 5 th grade 23 or finishing primary school • % of primary school aged daughters/sons attending school • % of secondary school aged daughters/sons attending school Health indicators: • Number of meals per day (strong correlation between nutrition and health) • Number of days sick during a given period • % of births attended by skilled personnel • Under 5 mortality rate 23 This is the preferred indicator of the multiple donor Education For All (EFA) program since grade 5 of primary school has been identified as the ‘threshold for sustainable literacy’.
